As usual, the first few weeks of the new year have
very limited options for DVD releases. If you must
buy something this week, go for one of the titles
listed below, but my strongest recommendation is to
wait for better choices.

Saturday Movie Review – “Abbott and Costello Go To Mars”
People who think they can judge the quality of a movie
by the stars rather than the directors need to watch
this immediately after watching Abbott and
Costello Meet Frankenstein.

Weekly Comics Discussion – December 28, 2005
The complete list is here.
Note that, due to the holidays, many US distributors
won’t be getting their shipments until Thursday,
December 29.
Weekly DVD Picks – December 26, 2005
No, the date isn’t a typo. December 27 may be a
Tuesday, but December 26 is one of the biggest (if not
the biggest) shopping days of the year.
Therefore, most studios recognize the benefit of
having products available on that day, so many
releases are due on Monday. The releases that
appealed to me are listed below.

William Shatner DVD club
starbreeze
writes, While not a film/tv review, more of a
website review that I thought folks would be
interested in. For the hardcore sci-fi/horror/fantasy
fan, William
Shatner has created a DVD club. While it could be
a chance for someone to unload their bargain bin, they
claim Shatner has hand picked these movies for your
enjoyment. For $47.99/year you get one DVD per month,
which works out to $4/DVD. While I’ve not yet joined,
I’ve pondered it, and I thought anyone else who
frequented bureau42 might be interested. It does
look interesting. I’m running short on storage space
for my collection, but I’m considering this.

list includes a number of notable items. Those
that caught my eye are listed below.

Saturday Movie Review – “1984”
And just what is a “Saturday Movie Review” you might
ask? I’ve got a lot of unreviewed movies in my
collection. I plan to review one movie every
Saturday until that has been rectified. I’ll be
skipping most of the horror films, to save them for
another Halloween event, and passing on the
superheroes for now because we’ve got a lot of that
content anyway with new releases and comic books.
Aside from that, I’m going through them all, and I’ll
be reviewing them in alphabetical order (with the
exception of next week’s holiday themed review.) My
collection is sorted with numbers first, so here we
go: 1984.
